correspondence, the nature of the doctrines, and the duties required in the orthoddx profession of the church of Rome; and it may be worth while, even at - the hazard of being te- dious, to present to your Readers a few extracts from the Solemn. Instrument.or Imprimatur of the Court of Rome after the work bad been thoroughly analyzed by the Official Master of Sa cra Theology at• Rome.—After declaring that the " Articles. of the Catholic Faith are made clearer than the as we have before seen, the In- strume►,t goes on to say, that " moreover he (the aulhory.Mr. GANDOLPHY) has supported the►}► by the strongest evidences of Scripture, by well clio- sec extracts from the holy Fathers, sY THE AU THORITY OF COUNCILS, and b.y the CONSTANT AND PERPETUAL TRAMTIoN OF THE CHURCH." 1( adds, that all of us who are not of the Church of Rome are invoked in Egyptian darkness. and that all we " who are unacvainted Wilk THE Tres FAITH and the Polar Star of CATuo- LIC UNITY MUST NECESSARILY SUFFER SHIP- WRECK I" `These are the sentiiuents of men, von will recollect (published at the infallible Fonntain Head of all Roman Carbolic authority, and binding at the risk of eternal ,contlentsfalion) who, in their appeal amd address to you, now be fore us, profess, and wohld have us brlieve, that there is no essential difference between their creed and our uteri, and that io No, with very few xcep tions, they are identified with each other. then fora further extract, in proof of the - peace able dont-at:or, and the brotherly love, so reel ingly professed towards their Protestant" brethren in Great Britain and lieland," by the appellants. ". Moreover (says the Report, accompo-nying the Imprimatur of the Master of (he Apostolic3l Pa lace), " in conformity with what ALL GOOD AND WELL-MEANING PERSONS IN ENGLAND have long desired to see effected, the author has carried the WAR of cuntfoversg into the tortresAes of THE ENE. UV ; and itt THAT LAND (Great liritaio anti Ire land), once the fruitful parent of saints, but now a prey to inniimerable sects, has TRIUMPHANTLY . _ raised THE CATHOLIC STANDARD or VICTORY over his discomfited and confuted opponents !" You will, Sir, bear in mind that: it is THE ENGLISH Church and English Protestants who are here designated. After a laboured eulogium upon the talents, eru dition, and piety of the Author" this Most distin guished and well-desirving defender of religion" (and 1 will add, the most honest), the Licenser in con clusion-declares, that " Multiplied Editions of this work, SO WORTHY 'TO BR CASED IN CEDAR AND GOLD, 'Wilt he prbfitable and highly advantageous to the CATHOLIC CHURCH !"_(Given at Rome from the Convent of St. Praxedis, 20th of June, 1816. See Appendix to " The Dangers," &c. so frequently referred to.) You will readily perceive, Sir, why Father GAN- , DOLPHY'S Book,' so ill-timed for the purposes and objects of the Roman C*'holic Claimants, has been impeded, and checked in its circulation by every art which the intrigue or ingenuity of the ,party could devise, whilst at the same time it is no less obvious why the Court of Rome cannot • reverse the judgment upon and sanctort of the Book, even "Plough it be injurious " to the Cause of Catholi city in Ireland"—they dare not iMpeach the an thority of Councils, which is an ,Article of Belief, axd Mr..PETER GANDOLTHY'S Book is simply a deelaration , of that authority;, and . the consequent duties binding upon every true Son of the CHURCH! But, Sir, it required not the authority of this Work, important as it may seem from the pecu- - liar crisis of its publication, to wove that such anti-constitutional principles and -notions are en tertained by the great mass of his' Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects. Multitudes •of sources were Open to the inquiry of men who really seek for Truth, and are not hurried on by party views, and factious prejudices, to the adoption of -crude, partial, and exclusive opinions.. The very ele ments of instruction---tie first rudiments of Roman Catholic education, 'sanctioned and published by the Priesthood, will sufficiently educe the nature and strength of their prejudices, and the objects against which -'they are undividedlY directed.--I quote tie following Questions and Answers from all'elementfiry Bonk of Instruction published in Cork in 1815; " for the use of schools." After a series of answers to que - stions connected with the history of the country, fr-om the petiod of ELI-LABF.TH downwards, in which (I refer you and your Readers to the book itself, as my -voucher) not one Fact is given correspondent with any known or recorded, history of the periods--a nd in which the grossest and most palpable Falsehoods ate unblushingly asserted,' we come to the period of his present Majesty's accession to the Crown— " Did the British. Empire rejoice at the acces sion of GEORGE 111. a nutive Sovereign ?" " Yes—hut in the general exultation 'lreland alone - was doomed to weep," &c. Had notlreland much heavier causes of coin , plaint than the revolted Colonies -3°' ,(viz. of America.) " Infinitely greater," &c. " What was the situation of Ireland when Mr. PITT returned to office in 1804 ?" " It experienced all _the baneful ejects of the . Union.“ &c. I will not occupy a further space in your pa- triptid Paper with extratt's, trusting that you and your Readers, Sir, will reter to the orl'gwal Tar the details, which. all partake . of the same cha racter.' -I will only observe, that the present .' Reign, which maybe considered as one continued Record of Concession to the Roman _Catholic Claims far Redress ; which has been marked by the direct' abrogation of every penal st.aiute, the removal of every invididus distinction, and the free unshackled toleration of their religion, to the extent that, even by their own shoving., one con cession only remains to he made, to invest t I , vrn with POLITICAL POWER, iS impressed upon the in-' fant minds of the rising generation, by a systematic scheme of education, as a- reign Of TYRANNY and O PPRESSION, which . ought ,to be - rssisted,. and against which the revolted COlonis of .4merica are held forth as a glorious example for their imitation. These, Sir, are the men, who, whilst inculcating principles hostile alike to the civil and religious institutions - of the State, stand forward undaunt edly to challenge proof of their disaffection, arid boast that. thev.,hold " the same allegiance to our most gracious Sovereign," and, the. same veneration for the Cwistitution, as the most loyal of his Pro- lestaut subjects I • _ But the inconsistency of all this is oniy in appear ance. It is not'of easy solution, indeed, to the plain and strait-forward notions and prindolesof Protest ants ; 'but it is easily reconeileable with tlse doc trine of expediency, that golden rule of the Roman Catholic Church , by which all things are declared to be lawful in subverting a schismatical or here tical Government . Mr. GANDOLPHY (ill his Defence of Popery, so frequently referred to), sinetioned by the presentC,Mrt of Rome, states, that " it is neither apostacy, nor schism, nor rebellion, to se parate from them (viz. any Protestant Church, called by the Rotnish Doctors Protestant Sects'), even' the Church cf England, which is the eldest of her , heretical' sisterhood,, is a' schismatical branch, A DEAD LINIB OF THE TRUE VINE, A REBELLIOUS I I I" CHILD . • Can we then any longer question the motives which so zealously urge on the Roman Catholic claimants in their thirst. for Pow ER alit! RULE ! Can we fed surprize at the eager and intemperate. minner in which they.have laboured to ,throw suspicion on their High Priest, PETERGANDOLPIM, for his indiscretion in publishing, at such a monient, a living commentary upon what - they would have us believe to be a dead letter, in opening the gates of the sanctum sanctorum to the' profane gaze of heretical curiosity, and pronouncing, ex Cathedra, the verdict of condemnation before they are yet placed in the judgment seat No, Sir, the mode rate party have left no art untried, no intrigue un explored, no means, however unjustifiable, enat tempted, to persecute and rim down the zealous defender of Popery, and to obstruct the pissage of his .work to the Protestant enquirer ; but in vain, the panoply of Route is thrown over him, and the indiscretion of his zeal is amply compen sated by its fervour, and, the loyal and obedient direction it has taken towards the infallible Head and Guide of the (Attach The same policy, 1 repeat, has, I hare reason to believe, been adopted with respect to 'the . Address and Appeal of the Roman Catholics of Ireland to their Protestant Brethren of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland," as long as the moderate party—(by which I have no hesitation in designating the real and most efficient. party of those engaged in the intrigues of the Koman Ca tholic Body)—as long, I say, as these men hoped for a ready and unhesitating admission of the in ducements to conciliation, which this -extraordi nary Document professed to hold out, the circula lion' was facilitated by all those means which a tree press, in the hands of factioa, has constantly at cowman:l; but when they found that it was likely to because subject to the process of analyzation,— when 'they discovered that a key to its true nature, supplied by an immediate Apostle front the Councils of their. own Infallible Head, was readily applied, the e i l eolation was checked ; and I call upon the Editor of - a certain Journal, which was at first instructed to write down the Leiters of,LaNyttasc, %shriller the counter orders subsequently issued by the Party did not impose the silence he has• or LATE so scrupulously observed?
